Most Americans ‘anxious’, ‘frustrated’ about election day: poll
About 70% of Americans say they are “anxious” or “frustrated” about Election Day, according to a new poll released this week.
The survey by The Associated Press-NORC Research Center showed Democrats and Republicans tend to have similar emotions about the election.
However, Democrats are more likely to be “anxious” compared to Republicans.
Independents are just as frustrated but say they are “less excited, less interested, and less anxious” than their partisans, according to the poll.
Black adults report feeling “more excitement” about the contest between presidential hopefuls Kamala Harris and Donald Trump than white adults.
They also are less likely than white adults to feel “frustrated or anxious” about the campaign, it said.
Harris and Trump are locked in a virtual dead heat nationally with most polling showing them narrowly split by between 1% and 3%.
